In my opinion,I don't see the need to breed cross breeds unless bred for a purpose i.e working dog lurchers for example.

The rescues are struggling up & down the uk,dogs are dying and this is just my take on it why breed more,the rescues are all too often picking up the pieces from breeders breeding designer crosses,to maybe start a new breed,(this takes years)& irresponsible breeding.

Did you not understand the sentence is red then,they are bred for a purpose,for working,not just because!

Yes but they have a purpose don't they,again working dogs,I don't see the point in crossing a chi with a pomm,or what is hoped to be achieved by way of purpose they serve,not to say they are not loved any less,just don't see the point.

Re: Cross Breeding Dogs

It does takes years and years to get the Kennel Club to even consider recognising a new breed - litters and litters to get a type set in etc etc.....
Lurchers are crossed but the KC dont recognise them - so thats a different kettle of fish all together.

Re: Cross Breeding Dogs

This is my opinion!

Those who are here to spread the word about the plight our rescue centres are facing I suggest you stop breeding yourself!

It is fine to state your opinion regarding cross breeding, but at the end of the day if someone chooses to buy a cross breed, who are you to question their motives!

May I suggest you put your efforts into breeding your own dogs correctly and stop worying about everyone else. Im sure you have better things to do other than pick holes in everything!

Just a thought.
